As you may agree with me, my blog entries so far have carried a sense of stillness, dream, and liminal awareness. While Discovering Stillness in Small Moments The Rest Between the Notes and Moonlit Threads, Human Ties are the clearest explorations of it, other posts also hover in that quiet, introspective register — even when their subjects differ.
When I write my reminiscences, it’s never just an act of remembering. It’s more like a quiet descent — a letting go — where I allow myself to drift as deeply as possible into the depths of my own subconscious. For a while, I suspend judgment. I loosen my grip on logic. I let the mind wander where it takes me, letting these remembrances run wild, unrestrained.
Some of these thoughts surface in moments of stillness — those small, luminous pauses that I wrote about in Discovering Stillness in Small Moments. Others emerge from a more elusive source: the twilight realm between waking and dreaming. That half-lit territory has always fascinated me. In pieces like The Rest Between the Notes and Moonlit Threads, Human Ties, I began to sense how dreams and the subconscious can weave themselves into conscious reflection. The imagery, tone, and rhythm of those writings seem to come from somewhere deeper — as though they had been resting quietly inside me, waiting for the right moment to rise.
Looking back, I realize that this process — this surrender to stillness and dream — is often where my writing begins. The subconscious seems to store fragments of experience: sensations, voices, faces, and fleeting impressions that never quite left me. When I stop trying to control them, they find their own way to the surface, sometimes as words, sometimes as images, sometimes as silence.
Perhaps what I’m really exploring in all these pieces is how memory, stillness, and dream converge — how each moment of inner quiet allows the unseen parts of the mind to speak. In that sense, writing becomes less an act of mindful creation and more an act of listening.
This is what I hope to explore next — the importance of dreams as a source of inspiration. For it’s often there, in the dim spaces of the subconscious, that the truest emotions and the most vivid images reside, waiting to be found.
